The Zojirushi Home Bakery Virtuoso™ is Zojirushi's NEW flagship breadmaker! It makes a light 100% whole wheat loaf or a delightful white bread from start to finish, in a traditionally shaped, 2 pound, horizontal loaf! And that's just the start of it.

The Zojirushi does an outstanding job of developing gluten and you can use the dough cycle by itself if you want, then finish baking in your regular oven... make dough for crisp pizza crust, light dinner rolls, mouth-watering cinnamon rolls, hamburger or hoagie buns, artisan breads, sourdough, cakes — the possibilities are endless. Don't want quite 2 lbs? The Zo gives you the freedom to make smaller 1.5 lb. loaves if you'd rather. Even makes fruit jam and meat loaf. And there's a free quick-start video to make success easy right from the start!

Special lid heater: The Zojirushi Virtuoso™ features an additional heating element in the lid for perfectly browned crust every time.

Stronger than ever: The Zojirushi bread machine has beefed-up pulleys and belt - the heaviest-duty drive system ever on a Zojirushi breadmaker, for a long, trouble-free life. Unlike most bread machines, the Zo has plenty of power and durability for whole grain dough. Of course, it's equally at home with white flour, or any blend you can imagine. Twin paddles provide superior kneading action so you get well-raised breads with great texture. Its highly domed interior keeps your bread from sticking to the lid if your recipe rises a little high, and it also offers crust-control adjustability. Pan inside dimensions are 5"W x 8.75L x 4.75"D.

Interruption-proof: Zojirushi has added a 10 minute "power interruption memory" into their bread machines, so your bread won't be ruined if your power blinks off.

Easy to use: Just pour ingredients into the Zojirushi automatic bread machine (unmixed!) and select settings (comes with an easy to follow manual.) The Zojirushi takes it from there and alerts you when your bread is ready. A beep will remind you when to add mid-cycle ingredients, if your recipe calls for some.The control panel is set at the perfect angle for easy viewing, and the Zo's new, bigger-than-ever window lets you see what's happening inside. This new model lets you open the lid during operation without resetting the cycle. Comes with a full set of preprogrammed cycles for a variety of breads, or you can easily create your own custom cycles. The Zojirushi bread machine now remembers three of your favorite custom recipes for one-touch programming. It can also easily be programmed for delayed start (up to 13 hours ahead) so you wake up in the morning to the wonderful aroma of fresh bread for breakfast. Timer works for all bread cycles except Quick and Sourdough cycles.
